Frequently Asked Questions, Jane's Apotherapy

How much time do I need for an Apotherapy session?
It takes about 10 minutes to locate the main problem area, and additional time to work and resolve the disorder. Usually an injury area requires 30 minutes of Apotherapy to produce a good result. You may have a shorter or longer complete session (close to 100% improvement) depending on the condition and total related surface area. At the end of each treatment, we may close the session with more than ten minutes of herbal and mineral treatment if needed.Can I preset my total Apotherapy treatment time to my budget?
Yes, just like massages, a lengthier treatment time will increase the fee according to the going rates. You may need to return if your preset treatment time does not resolve your disorder completely. For first timers that are not referred by friends, we advise that you do not get a long session. Please wait for the first medical disorder to be resolved before we start on a second medical disorder. Although Apotherapy will always improve your health, you are only given a treatment when you are willing. For people that do not live in New York, a complete session will be more worthwhile. Apotherapy can only improve your conditions; You may also receive it as an enhancement to health. For sports injuries, Apotherapy will also enhance your strength and athletic performance.

Do I need to bring a diagnosis with me for an Apotherapy session?
No, you do not have to; Bring it only if you have one ready. If you have a broken bone or 100% tear condition (you are not able to move), then you will need a X-ray and maybe also surgery from an orthopedic doctor or surgeon that we work with. Jane’s Apotherapy is also a very useful diagnostic tool. Sometimes it can even locate problem areas that X-rays cannot provide. Increased accuracy in your diagnoses will benefit you if it does not hurt to have it done.

How many Apotherapy sessions do I need for a complaint disorder?
Usually you will be able to judge the improvement during or right after the first session. After about one week, if a deeper layer area is still not 100% better, you will probably need one or more additional sessions. For injuries, if you are sure that your pain is completely gone before you walk out our door, one session is usually all you need.

How long will the improvement last from Jane's Apotherapy?
Massage only provides temporary relief, Jane’s Apotherapy provides permanent relief unless you reinjure yourself. Sometimes for conditions that are built by your own body (not by injuries), you may need more treatments to clear all the related causes that contribute to the condition. Jane's Apotherapy pain cure means pain is no longer there after you utilize the treated area! The other treatments may make you feel better, but you will still know that the issue is not resolved if you trigger the symptom again.

What do I need to do before an Apotherapy treatment?
It’s better that you do not take any pain medication the day of your Apotherapy session. This way you will be able to feel the location of all the problem areas and how much better the pain is during and right after the treatment. You should also eat your regular meals prior to the treatment so you have energy. The treatment can be a very good workout for you.

Can I get back to my daily routines right after an Apotherapy session?
Yes, definitely, you may even go right back to playing sports or completing your daily routines if you feel fully recovered with your full range of motion. You can avoid overworking the treated area for a day or two if it’s still tender from the treatment. Temporary redness may occur on the treated area showing what has been cleared out. It will fade right after a session or within a week according to the treated area’s blood circulation and your condition. If you have a disorder, toxins or congealed blood deposits under the treated areas, they will be raised to the skin surface. Excessive deposits may appear like hickeys or bruises during the resolving process. However, the ending result will be smoother, healthier and younger looking skin.

When should I get an Apotherapy session?
You should get an Apotherapy session anytime you experience an acute or chronic medical condition. It is better to act sooner than later to save yourself any unnecessary suffering. Irritations from tension, improper manual work, or needles can worsen your conditions. Frequent cortisone or steroid injections may lead to tissue degeneration. Tissue damage by acupuncture needles often leads to increased blood clot deposits and scar tissue build up. Nerve tissue damage by needles often unwittingly leads to aggravating numbness. These require additional time for the Apotherapy to resolve, especially in the case of repetitive multiple nerve and deep tissue damage caused by acupuncture needles. For treatment that requires visits for weeks, months, or even years, most of the time your body heals by itself. But healing may not be the same as curing. If you feel your conditions coming back from time to time, that just means it was never cured.What if I already had a surgery?
If there is any scar tissue adhesion or edema, or if your surgery does not improve your condition completely, then you should come to Jane’s Apotherapy for corrections. The Apotherapy work is easier if no surgeries have been done. If you have artificial implants, Apotherapy treatment can help release blockage build up around the implants, relieving pain or stiffness.Do you accept medical insurance?
We do not deal with insurance providers for the Apotherapy alternative treatment, you will receive a receipt for your own reimbursement. Apotherapy can be worthwhile regardless of insurance coverage, mainly because your ailment may be cured within one session. For many medical conditions aside from surgeries, Apotherapy may be the only cure.

Yes. you have to be prepared for the treatment you are going to... and that Jane is an EXPERT IN!! She is the real deal and truly delivers.

RE: Simeone Scaramozzino
This person came to us limping with excruciating knee pain on 5/14/14. He said he had serious knee pain caused by repeated Yoga injuries for months, and it was only getting worse. He'd been to many doctors with various treatments prior to our single treatment. He came in for his 2:00pm appointment and paid a total fee of $120 using his Visa credit card ending #xx50 at 1:29pm. Jane spent one and half hours of time and energy for him. Since we opened in 2002, customers have always paid with credit cards and obtained receipts. This person was no exception. He then emailed us on 5/19/14 to request a refund by claiming his knee pain and swelling were resolved by another treatment.

You should use your own judgement for what's been said by those whose intentions are to acquire free services, especially if they were sent by business competitors. The above person may not need a second treatment from Jane for now. For future reference, Jane's Apotherapy may still be the only cure for many medical conditions. And we don't disappear!

RE: Olive GingerThis person was never a client. Jane Is The Expert In All Her Apotherapy Alternative Techniques. This person does not even know the very basic concepts of Jane's techniques. There will not be much redness at all if you do not have a disorder or toxin deposits under the treated area. And People Get Cured By Jane's Apotherapy Treatment All The Time! There is no need to make accusations. People that are not honest about the treatment results will just have to find other specialists to deal with their future medical conditions.

Temporary redness from the Apotherapy techniques vary according to medical conditions. Increased redness signifies a thorough treatment of areas and the resolution of injury and pain. It may look like a hickey or a bruise during the resolving process, but a deeper redness that takes more time to fade is always better cleanse, i.e. cupping treatment. The ending result always makes the skin smoother and healthier. Otherwise an additional session or sessions may be necessary to complete the treatment. Again, redness is not injury/ nor does it make things worse!

"What western medicine could not do for my Achilles heel injury in a year, Jane Lee cured in half an hour! Believe it! My name is Chris and I am a decathlon, heptathlon athlete attending a Div. II college in PA. I hurt my Achilles heel in Nov. of 2011 doing my approach to the High Jump. Many orthopedists and Physical therapist later, no positive result occurred. I missed participating the entire school year. This summer my trainer sent me home saying that he did not know what else to do to fix this problem. I found Jane, gave her a try and to my amazement my problem was gone. All I can say is that she kneads the affected area with a flat rounded rock with varying degrees of pressure and presto-chango away goes the pain. I recommend Jane to anyone with this problem. I say give her a try. It is not invasive. You have nothing to loose. If it works you go home amazed , like I was. If it doesn't, you are right back where you started from. Give it a try! And it feels good also."

"Let me just say, Jane didn't just put me back to normal, SHE PUT ME BACK TO PERFECT-- and it only took ONE visit! Not only have I been completely cured for almost 9 months now (after experiencing indescribable amounts of pain in my hips/ lower back for over 18 years, and seeing absolutely every "specialist" around the world), but my flexibility, turn out, AND leg extensions are far better than anything I have ever trained for in the past 18 years of my dancing career. If only I had discovered her 18 years ago, I can only imagine where I'd be at with my dancing now! :) I am not kidding you! She is a magical fairy god mother. I could never in all my life ask for anything more from someone. She is now known as my guardian angel, who literally and figuratively, saved my life, as well as my dancing career. I could never thank her enough for her services and how well she takes care of me. Her warm and thoughtful personality, and sweet, sweet soul, lingers with me every single day. God bless you Jane-- you are my angel! I promise you, she will never let you down. I would never, ever recommend someone other than Jane-- go and see for yourself! You'll come to realize miracles do actually come true!"

"I have had a wonderful experience with Jane. I first met her a year ago as I was having pain in my neck due to a herniated disc. I went the tradition route with physical therapy, which did not alleviate or improve the pain. I honestly think the PT made it worse. After some research on the internet I came across Jane's website. After my 1 session with Jane I felt so much better. The improvements continued over the time as I was pain free. Jane is very dedicated to her work which shows in the care she puts forth with her patients. I have referred her to many people and will continue to do so as she does an exceptional job."

"Jane is AMAZING! After having been to many Dr's regarding my sprained ankle tear (I was unable to walk) Dr's told me I would be on crutches for two months...I found the miracle worker Jane went in she completely repaired my ankle in one treatment I walked out! It has been 3 years and good as new 3 treatments total..sending friends"

"A friend of mine referred me to Jane when I was complaining lower back pain due to the job (we are both bakers). In fact, I was starting to experience nerve pain down my leg at night. My friend told me that she had also suffered from chronic back pain until she started seeing Jane. I went for the apotherapy, where she asks you to point to the area of pain, and then takes a flat piece of smooth plastic (I think it's plastic?...or stone), and rubs it over the affected area, and/or the surrounding muscles. I had no idea how tight and seized my back muscles were until after my session, and it was easier to move around! Jane warned me not to exert myself for a day or two, so I took it easy. Although I was sore that first day after treatment, the second day was better because the nerve pain was lessened dramatically. By the 4th day, my nerve pain was completely gone! I take better care of myself now (stretching, yoga, drinking more water, etc.) but there's no way I could have healed so quickly without the apotherapy. I've been to Jane's a few times to treat different areas, all with great success. I tell all my friends about Jane, and they have all had great results."

"I went there several times for a massage and the experience was always great. Jane really knows what she's doing. I went there because of a lot of tension in my back and shoulders causing headaches and she did a very good job to relive that. After every massage I feel very relaxed and had no more headaches since my first visit. Jane is very attentive and professional and puts emphasis on her work. She checks if the pressure level is okay, stretches my muscles and really gets the tightness and aches out. I highly recommend her. The place is well located in Midtown and easy to reach by subway."

"I walked out of an orthopedic surgeon office after he told me i needed a knee(s) replacement, and began looking for an alternative way to cure my problem. I had just returned from Greece and it seemed strange as i listened to the doctor after climbing all those ruins a month before. The best thing that came from his diagnosis was that there are alternatives. I was very fortunate and met Jane via my search on the internet I not only have my knees but I have no pain; Jane was wonderful and cured my problem. When I have any new symptoms, ankle pain, or back pain, I phone Jane. All my friends know about her, and I have handed her cards to people on the street. I hope they try her therapy and are as successful as i have been."

"amazing. cured my Morton's neuroma in one session... after doctors telling me i needed injections to kill the nerve... no thanks!"

"AGAIN.. people don't understand this treatment used for natural healing. had severe sinusitis after a long business trip in europe. took everything in duane reade for it. went in to see jane.. had the stone scraping treatment for 1 hr - woke up next day completely cured - sinuses drained, felt even better than normal. natural treatments always the best."

"it really works i been trying a lot of things for my feet , like medicine, epsom salt, warm water , creams ,,,,, etc and i just find her on google and i call her and same day i get the appointment. she just work on my feet and i just walking 100% better i recommend her"

"I don't know what happened with the person named Starr who is calling Jane a fraud, but this WAS NOT my experience at all. Because of Starr's terrible review of Jane's Apotherapy, I felt I had to write about my very positive experience. I had surgery on my foot and then 8 months after I was still in pain - pain that had moved into my calf area. Jane used the Stone Apotherapy treatment and I have not had pain since. I had such amazing results that I referred my friend who was having chronic back pain to Jane. He went to Jane and also did the Stone therapy and also had amazing results - he is no longer in pain. This was back in November 2012, and I just talked to him this past week and he said his back is still feeling great - that he has referred his Mother and others. I must admit that it sounds very odd to not have any pain after Jane's Stone Apotherapy treatments, but it works!!! I would say if you are in pain, try the Stone Apotherapy - this is the treatment you want to end your pain without medication!!! Stop complaining about your pain and just go!!!"

"Jane is really amazing! She's very attentive to her customers and makes sure her customers are very comfortable. I go there for massages and you will not regret going there for a massage. I went for the first time and told my mom about it and she went...AND LOVED IT!"

"I highly recommend her services. Jane is great, had painful bunion, right knee pain and sore chest ...all of them were cured."

"I've been going back and forth to Jane's clinic for some adjustments if I feel some more pain still persist. I can say that she did very good treatments after those adjustments. Because of my good experience, I went back also for treatments of my feet's plantar fasciitis and left knee this time. So far so good, I'm on the healing time and feel better and will know later if I need some adjustments if some more pain persist."

"Jane is a rare find - someone with special healing skills. I came to Jane to get help for a toe joint that was injured when my two year old jumped on me and landed square on my foot. A podiatrist had given a series of injections that did not really help. Surgery was suggested. Jane's gentle approach definitely lessened my pain and inflammation. Her technique helps me manage my foot post injury. I recommend Jane and her therapy for foot and joint injuries."

"I was recommended to go to Jane from my Fiance who was RAVING about her after she fixed her bulging disc in her neck. I store stress in my neck and shoulders that had gotten so bad I was getting regular migraines. As others are staying, this is not a spa massage. I ended up with bruising all throughout the area she worked on me, but it felt great. I haven't gotten a migraine since then (it's been a few weeks) and felt she got out more of the tension than any massage I have had before. I do not believe she is a cure all for everyone, but as long as you aren't going to her with any tears or injuries that should require surgery than I highly recommend her services. She even thought I tipped her too much and gave me money back so that it was more in line with her recommend 18% (I don't think I tipped that much more than the recommended amount)."

"Jane has done wonders for me over the years. As I have gotten a bit older, I have experienced more injuries doing the things I love (running central park, weight lifting, yoga, etc.). When I used to get injured the doctor would tell me not to do anything for 4 to 6 weeks and use ice/NSAIDs. I would get really depressed and feel like all my health and wellness goals were slipping away. Then I found Jane. Not only did she fix my injuries, many of them recurring, and get me back to my fitness lifestyle within days, my overall injury rate has dropped dramatically since I have been working with Jane. Know I just go for the relaxing massage and a touch up once in awhile. I highly recommend Jane and her services. They are worth every penny!"

"Jane promises to do one thing: Help cure whatever ailment is troubling you. She did that for me, and many others I know. I first saw Jane in college when I was a runner on Columbia University's Track and Field Team. I had injured my hamstring and was unable to participate in many of my meets because of the agonizing pain. My coaches had sent a few of my teammates to Jane and they all raved about how they were cured after their first and only treatment. Mind you, we all went in for different reasons...hamstrings, quads, and knee issues. So, I figured I would give it a try and see if I could have the same success. I will have to say that her apotherapy treatment is not a "spa massage". There will be periods of discomfort, but honestly, noting hurt more than trying to run on a busted hamstring. After my treatment, Jane told me not to take ibuprofen or anything else for the pain. She said that I would feel much better in the morning, if not 100% better. The next day I was doing a track workout with one of the guys that would be going to Penn Relays in my place because of my injury. I was honestly just there to help him get in a good workout. However, not only was I able to complete the workout, I totally destroyed him! My coach came up to me and said, "I hope you are ready to go to Penn Relays". Anyway, to keep this short, we won the relay and I ran my fastest time of the year during that race. I went from limping around to smashing my PR in the 400m in just 3 days! I also visited Jane recently when I was having horrible headaches. She helped with that as well. Jane is a true healer, and I will continue to go back to her for years to come."

"Jane's Apotherapy is amazing. I had a sore back muscle and scoliosis pain and I went for ONE apotherapy session and both immediately felt better. I go for weekly massages now and my back has never felt better. I sit in an office chair all day so it gets very sore, but Jane's massage helps enormously. Jane herself is an excellent masseuse and apotherapy specialist. She's very considerate of requests and listens to the patient. 5 stars for Jane's Apotherapy!"

"Love Jane! She's done a fantastic job treating me over the 5 years that I have known her. I'm a competitive athlete that needs to stay on my feet for each of my upcoming competitions. I can't risk any down time due to pain or injury. I've been to many massage therapists and physical therapists in NYC and will only return to Jane's. What impressed me the most about Jane is that she took the time to understand my injures and where most of the pain resides. She then carefully works that area and all the surrounding areas to make sure my muscles are ready to preform. During the hour long treatment she stopped to get some feedback from me. This is important as it's sometimes difficult to explain to someone where the pain is and what it feels like. She addressed all my concerns during the session. After I left her studio she called me that night to check up on me and even called me a few days later to ask how I was feeling! I trust Jane to continue to heal me."
